️ Scam alert: if anyone ever asks you to "temporarily change" the email address on your Mastodon account, DO NOT DO THIS.
There is currently a scammer posing as a server admin telling people to temporarily change their Mastodon account's email to an address supplied by the scammer. This is a scam, don't do it.
Real admins will NEVER ask you to do this.
You can see examples of this scam in the thread at https://ohai.social/@redsad/115708030185038699
(Thanks @markwyner@mas.to for the warning about this! 🙏

Can non-admins even see the email?
The reason ask is because I use unique emails for different things… and I expect only the admin could see the email I used for mastodon.
